 Good weights for the price but only for stationary exercises | | Review Date: January 16, 2010 | | Reviewer: Kristine Later, Upstate New York | | These weights work well for leg extensions and other stationary exercises, but they would not stay put well enough for walking or running. I like the fact that they are adjustable up to 10 lb per weight. |
Good Set of Ankle Weights | | Review Date: July 13, 2010 | | Reviewer: Terri Seelinger, | | I needed a set of ankle weights that were adjustable so I could gradually move up over the 10 lb pair for certain exercises. These really fit the bill and are well made. The fit is a little big with only 6lbs on each leg to start with, but not so big that sliding around is a problem. I would certainly recommend them! |

Better than Veleo | | Review Date: May 27, 2010 | | Reviewer: K. Conover, Carnegie, PA United States | I used to have ankle weights with iron bars in them, the iron bars hurt my ankles and so when they wore out I got Valeo Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights, 20 lb. Combined Weight, Pair.
They wore out in 14 months.
I just got these weights, so it's an initial impression, but:
1. Easier to put on and take off with a single buckle instead of the dual D-rings of the Valeo weights.
2. Coarser nylon material than the Valeo weights. Hope it will last longer. The extra friction helps prevent sliding, though not quite as comfortable against the skin. (Not slipping much more important than the feel against the skin, I think.
3. For whatever reason, the Valeo weights pressed against my malleoli (bumps on the inside and outside of the ankle) and after an hour or two the pressure there was quite uncomfortable. I'm not getting that with these weights. |
Get What You See | | Review Date: February 15, 2010 | | Reviewer: M. Clarot, El Cajon, CA, US | | These came exactly as expected, heavy. Each one is an adjustable up to 10 Lbs of weight. The ONLY draw back on this one that kept it from being a 5 stars is the fact that it doesn't fit on your arms "properly" unless your arms are as thick as your legs. It doesn't slide too much but it's enough to be a slight bother. |
not bad | | Review Date: January 27, 2010 | | Reviewer: Ling Cen, | | it's better than the previous 2 sets of ankle weights i got. It had tighter grip and feels more comfortable... |
They Work Well For Me | | Review Date: June 10, 2010 | | Reviewer: chill_dog, | First let me say these ankle/wrist weights are nice. The construction seems to be pretty good. The weights are sand bags, and the platic is thick, so you shouldn't have any leak issues unless you're throwing the weights around haphazardly.
So, what cost them the star? They're loose with low weight. Let me explain. I decided to start out with just two pounds (one bag). I'm a skinny guy. Even with the straps pulled as far they can go, there was still a lot of play. I'm using them for leg lifts, so it's not an issue for me, but it would be rather annoying if you were using them while running. Now, as you add weights, they take up the slack. With eight or ten pounds (four or five bags) in these, they are fine. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking to start out with low weight and do things involving a lot of movement. |
Ankle Weights | | Review Date: August 22, 2010 | | Reviewer: Paul D, Florida | | Do the job. Can be a little loose when not using all of the weights. Also can hurt the ankle a bit if not placed just right. |
